Dave’s story: After a heart attack, I struggled with health anxiety and drink

Dave | February 2023 | 1 minute

Dave was 47 when he had a heart attack. Because of this, he developed a health anxiety and turned to drink. Here, he tells us how he overcame his alcohol dependency.

I eventually agreed with my wife that I was suffering from health anxiety and the drink was not helping.

I went for a liver scan and in the lift, I saw my own reflection in the mirror, and I was the same colour as Homer Simpson, very yellow as if it was body paint.

I now take care of my mind and body.
